The NCVs were in Hackfall Woods this week for a bit of woodland maintenance. Where better to spend a day during Easter week? With emerging bluebells and other flowers decorating the slopes, everywhere was looking lovely. There were probably even some eggs hiding in various parts of the wood, albeit not chocolate ones!

As usual there was a variety of things to do, so the group split up into teams and went their own separate ways. Roving photographers spotted the following.....
Now - why. And who????!
Numbers obviously hurt their heads.
Ros K and Sally worked upstream to clear the debris.
Excuse me ladies - you missed a bit there!
That is definitely not an easy thing to clear.
No - but we've cleared it anyway!!
Nothing like a nice, oozy bit of mud wallowing on a spring day.

Talking of Alum Springs - the water flow down the rock face needed improving.
There was a definite improvement made here.
Lots of plastic bags were collected - very often left by lazy dog walkers.
The little NCVs are having a lovely time today.¯
Well - the jury is still out on that decision.
Everyone went home tired and filthy but secure in the knowledge that they had made a difference.
